As Per the F1 help on Field inv. Ref

Document No. of the Invoice to Which the Transaction Belongs

For line items which are related to another line item , this field contains the number of the partner document.

Use

In the standard system the field is used for the following:

• Credit memos that refer to a particular invoice item

• Subsequent invoices for an invoice item

• Partial payments for an invoice item

• Partial clearings of down payments

In the first two cases mentioned, the terms of payment are copied from the cross-referenced invoice item into the item currently being processed. This ensures that items due on the same date are paid together by automatic payment.

A special rule applies to credit memos that contain a "V" in this field. The due date is determined in the same way as for an invoice. If the field is empty (containing neither a document number nor a "V") the due date is the baseline date for payment.

There are 3 possible solutions:

1. For the credit memo without reference invoice the baseline date is considered as the due date of this credit memo for the payment processing.

2. Enter in Invoice Reference the terms of payment are copied from the cross-referenced invoice item into the item currently being processed. The screenshots below are the referenced invoice and the credit memo to be created.

3. If the payment term days needed to be adjusted, the Indicator "V" has to be entered in Inv. Ref field, in addition to the specified Payment Term.
